Beside the lake, there is an evening breeze blowing.
In the distance, there was the rumble of the waterfall hitting the rocks. The edge of the lake appeared and the water fell into the abyss.
In the abyss, these lakes scattered into water droplets all over the sky, and the strong wind blowing from the bottom of the plane turned them into pieces of rain and mist. These local winds were then brought back to the northernmost snow peak of the plane, forming endless wind and snow that fell down.
Some women who were washing clothes by the lake gathered the clothes that were still drying on the grass, carried baskets and wooden basins on their heads, pulled the children around them, and walked in groups towards the canyon town.
At this time, a young girl with long legs and short hair was carrying a postal backpack and wearing a pair of leather boots, dragging her tired body all the way from the town to the lake. It seemed that many people along the way knew her.
He squatted next to a beach by the lake. Two children who were waiting here cheered and ran over. They took out an aluminum lunch box to show off the day's harvest to the girl. The lunch box was full of fresh earthworms. I was worried that these earthworms
It died in a lunch box with some sand in it.
"Good job!" the long-legged girl said casually, causing the two children to cheer for joy.
She has a faint layer of freckles on her cheekbones, her skin is a bit rough, her face has a layer of fine fuzz, her nose is very straight, and her bright eyes are like two emeralds.
Her face is somewhat tough, and there is a kind of perseverance between her eyebrows.
She dug out two precious fishhooks from a small cloth roll, tied the fishing line skillfully, hung an earthworm on the fishhook, then climbed onto a rock by the lake, swung the fishing rod, and threw in
In the lake, another handful of wet rice bran was sprinkled into the lake...
On the shore, there were two old women walking slowly with wooden basins in their arms. They were a little bloated and their eyes were a little bad.
As I got closer, I saw clearly that it was a girl with long legs. The old lady with a stooped waist raised her head with difficulty and said:
"Dennis, it's so late, do you still want to fish here?"
Dennis, the long-legged girl, turned around and said with a smile:
"It's easier to take the bait at night, Sister Anthea, are you going back?"
The stooped old woman muttered: "If you don't walk, you will no longer be able to see the road. As you get older, your eyesight will no longer work..."
After saying that, the two old women slowly left holding the wooden basin.
Aunt Anthea, whose waist could no longer straighten, introduced to her companions beside her:
"This girl's name is Dennis. It's not easy for one person to not only raise her younger brothers and sisters, but also take care of her bedridden grandmother."
Another old woman just sighed feebly and then said: "What a good boy..."
Although Aunt Anthea's eyes were a little blurry and her ears were a little dull, the fire of gossip in her heart was still burning. As she walked, she said: "A while ago, an officer said he wanted to marry her, and she brought him directly to her home.
Let the officer take a look at the situation at home and tell her that if he wants her, he must accept everything from her."
"Then what?" asked the old woman next to me.
"What else could there be? Then, the officer just said he wanted to think about it, and then left without looking back." Aunt Anthea sighed helplessly.
"Hey, didn't you say that we have captured the town of Takarai?" The old woman muttered softly: "Why hasn't our life changed at all?"
Aunt Anthea said affirmatively: "We only have five days to capture it... We only have five days to complete the attack. We didn't even have time to bring out all the supplies in the warehouse before they were taken back by the lord army."
The old woman's tone suddenly became more relaxed: "It's already very good... isn't it? At least we can distribute some supplies this time!"
"Nowadays, there are more and more people, and there are fewer and fewer things to share..." Aunt Anthea sighed and said, "The life here is far worse than before!"
The two of them drifted apart...
She didn't even notice Surdak sitting on the rock next to her. Siya poked her head out from behind Surdak. She shook her wet fish tail, and her wet hair was spread on her round shoulders.
With a touch of green scales.
In front of Surdak, she no longer felt shy even if she turned into a mermaid...
She stretched out her hand to pull the long hair on the back of her head into a bun, and with a 'pop' sound, she jumped into the lake again.
…
Dennis felt that he was very lucky tonight. He caught a trout as soon as he arrived.
Looking at the dark back of this big fish, it is obvious that it lives in deep water all year round. I really don’t know why it goes to shallow water to eat earthworms...
Seeing that dinner was settled and there would be fish soup tomorrow morning, Dennis was ready to call it a day.
But considering that I had just arrived here and had just used a short section of an earthworm, I felt that I should catch two more rods.
Just after she threw the fishhook into the lake, within a few breaths, the fishing rod in her hand sank suddenly. She grabbed the rod with all her strength and battled wits with the big guy in the water.
Children playing in the sand under the rocks cheered for joy.
At this moment, the lake shrouded in darkness not far away actually started to splash with water. Dennis saw someone struggling by the lake but did not call for help.
She stood up straight and took a closer look. An arm like a white lotus root was exposed in the lake.
Dennis threw down the fishing rod without hesitation, rushed into the lake with two long legs, and threw his body forward. Huge waves appeared in the lake, and the long-legged girl swam over awkwardly, holding her arms with one hand and drowning.
He grabbed his neck and swam desperately to the shore.
The incident happened not far from the shore, and we got ashore quickly.
It was Siya who was rescued from the lake...
Dennis placed Thea on the beach and was about to see if she still had a heartbeat and breathing, but he didn't expect that the other party had already woken up.
Thea opened her deep blue eyes, smiled at Dennis and said, "Thank you for saving me..."
…
Surdak, who was lying on the rock, covered his forehead with his hands. He didn't expect that Siya actually had a talent for acting...
…
Dennis smiled easily. When Thea woke up, he squatted next to her and said:
"You're welcome, where is your home? I'll take you back..."
"I live in a hotel in a small town." Thea explained to Dennis.
Dennis helped Siya up and said: "No wonder I think your face is a bit strange. You must be careful not to fall into the lake again when you come to the lake. There are no people here at night..."
Two children followed Dennis and Siya, one carrying a fishing rod and the other carrying a lunch box...
Siya looked a little weak, but her eyes kept glancing around. Walking back into the canyon town, there were wooden stairs extending from the cliff in all directions.
Dennis was very familiar with this town and sent Thea back to the hotel.
"Oh, where do you live?" Standing at the door of the hotel, Thea asked Dennis.
Dennis pointed to an unlit pigeon coop and said casually:
"Just over there, look... hanging on the window sill, and there are two pepper plants in the flower pot at the door."
Thea came up, gave Dennis a tight hug, and said, "By the way, I don't know your name yet!"
"Dennis!" Dennis introduced himself.
"Thea..." Thea pointed to her nose and said, "Can I visit your home tomorrow?"
Dennis readily agreed: "Of course, it's just that I'm not at home during the day. I have to be responsible for delivering letters to various camps during the day, and I can only entertain you at night."
After saying that, he quickly ran down the stairs with the two children, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
"She runs so fast..."
Thea said to Surdak who came out from behind.
Suldak said: "Aren't you worried about being found out one day?"
"What's the matter? I just want to get to know her..."
Thea smiled proudly.
…
Aphrodite was lying on the big bed in the luxurious cabin of the magic airship. The cool nightgown could not hide anything at all, but instead magnified the charm and sexiness of her body infinitely.
Outside the window is a vast sea of white clouds.
The dazzling sunshine made Surdak feel particularly friendly, and there was no sunshine at all in the dry cloth plane...
In the distance, an albatross soars on the skyline. It also relies on the power of the wind to fly long distances.
Aphrodite raised her chin, making the swan's neck look extremely slender.
Apart from her fair skin, she doesn't seem to have any flaws on her body.
"What did you see when you went to the rebel rear? How are people living there?" she asked Suldak.
Surdak sat on a chair and explained to Aphrodite:
"Everyone is very poor, so there are not so many conflicts, and the lifestyle is very simple."
Aphrodite looked at Surdak with a half-smile and asked him: "How are you, are you determined to help the rebel army in the Ganbu plane?"
Suldak shook his head.
Do he and the magician Avide want to support the rebel army against the lord army of the Ganbu plane?
He felt that this was unrealistic. After all, it was an independent plane half the size of the Bena Province, and its permanent population probably exceeded three million.
"Next, Aved will have a good talk with the rebels... I will look through the information again." Suldak said cautiously: "When we fly to Bena City, I will discuss it with Marquis Luther...
"
Aphrodite reached out and picked up a red apple from the fruit plate on the bedside table and threw it to Suldak.
Surdak put it in the magic waist bag and prepared to take it back to Samira. There are no apples with such sweetness in the dry cloth plane.
"Oh, when will the temporary teleportation circle be repaired?" Aphrodite asked again.
"We have to wait until we arrive in Bena City to buy a high-grade gemstone base, as well as some other simple parts." Surdak pressed his forehead and said.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Surdak and Aphrodite looked at each other, and Aphrodite motioned to Surdak to open the door.
…
Surdak straightened his collar and put the noble badge on his chest. Then he walked to the cabin door and opened the door halfway with one hand.
The second officer standing at the door saw Surdak in leather armor and was dumbfounded for a moment...
Through the gap in Surdak's body, the second officer could see the figure of the woman lying on the bed in pajamas.
In fact, he can't be blamed for this. Except for the second officer who saw Surdak on the day he boarded the ship, Ms. Aphrodite has been alone on the airship these past few days.
The second officer thought that Suldak quietly disembarked the airship before it took off.
This lady was traveling alone, without even a maid. He seemed to feel such an obvious hint, so he came over with some wine to communicate... Unexpectedly, as soon as the cabin door opened, he actually saw a genuine
Young nobleman.
The second officer suddenly felt completely cold...
Although Aphrodite wore a mithril mask on her face, her face could not be seen clearly.
But with such a good figure, the second officer felt that lying on the bed with a mithril mask actually had a different flavor...
He was wearing a decent white shirt and a bow tie at the collar, and he also specially sprayed some perfume. He was holding a bunch of Bai Baihe in his hand and a bottle of white wine in the other hand.
When the cabin door was pushed open and Suldak blocked the door, the second officer was like a lover who had been caught raping in bed, a little ashamed.
He smiled guiltily at Suldak.
"What's the matter?" Surdak asked with a straight face.
The second mate served the white wine with both hands with an embarrassed look on his face, and said: "Dear Viscount, this is for you. In addition, the airship provides a service of dining on the top deck of the ship. Do you have any experience in this regard?"
need?"
"No! Is there anything else?" Suldak took the white wine and asked impatiently.
"No... excuse me!"
The second officer bowed to Suldak and then closed the door with his own hands...
A bottle of white wine worth forty silver coins was given away like this. Although the second officer worked on an airship and his monthly salary was three gold coins higher, it still made him feel a little distressed.
Perhaps seeing the figure lying on the bed made him feel even more distressed.
"Is this why you invited me here?"
Suldak raised the white wine in his hand and shook it casually and asked.
Aphrodite rolled around on the big bed, blinked, and expressed her gratitude to Surdak with charming eyes.
Surdak quickly withdrew his gaze, walked to the circular glass window, looked at the sea of clouds outside the airship, and asked her:
"Are you really not going to go and enjoy the breeze on the roof of the magic airship?"
Aphrodite said with half interest: "Forget it. If you always wear this mask wherever you go, you will be regarded as a weirdo, and you can't take it off... Let's just lie down in the room and sleep..."
After speaking, his black and purple eyes boldly glanced at Suldak...
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first..."
Suldak said in a panic.
When I crossed the Void Gate, my steps became a little staggering.
Behind him came Aphrodite's hearty laughter like silver bells.
…
Surdak walked back to his room in the canyon town hotel, opened the window, and looked down.
This wooden house is built on a rock wall, with a big river at its feet. There are also some wooden houses on the cliff opposite, making this canyon full of fun.
He looked at the white wine in his hand and put it on the table by the window.
The fighting in the house of the magician Avid next door finally subsided...
Surdak supported the window sill with both hands and leaned half of his body out to enjoy the night view of the town.
The window next door was also pushed open by a snow-white arm. Magician Avide and Nora were wrapped in the same blanket, and they were also admiring the night view of the town from the window.
Seeing Surdak, Magician Avid smiled triumphantly at him, saying nothing.
